What to do and see in Suceava, Northeast Romania: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
In northern Romania near the Ukrainian border and once the capital of Moldova, today Suceava is a city of just over 100,000. Though fairly industrial, the city does have some great historical attractions, like the 14th-century Princely Court fortress and several medieval churches. The Bucovina History Museum is also popular. Best of all, Suceava is the perfect jumping off point for exploring the famous painted monasteries of Bucovina, set amid the gorgeous countryside just outside of the city.

These monasteries are a must visit for anyone wanted a taste of the real romania. Dedicated by Stefan Cel Mare after victories in battle, they are covered in intricate and beautiful artwork. The paint used is a natural recipe that cannot be recreated, making them hard to maintain and protect. Despite this, they are beautiful and complex and the fading from the wind in some sense only makes them more interesting. There is also "graffiti" (carvings in the stone walls on some of the monasteries), some of them from over 200 years ago, that is interesting to see.

Small and compact village museum. However, in terms of attention to interior house details, it's a 10/10. Interiors are reconstructed to perfection! All the important village interiors are presented: the potter, the blacksmith, the pub, water mill, the oil mill, church, primary school, weaving house, coats workshop, stables, barns along with traditional village homes with all their traditions such as agriculture tools, baptising, wedding, funeral rituals and many more. Unexpectedly amazing!
6. Suceava Fortress

Bucovina Museum - The fortress of Suceava, built at the end of the 14th century near the medieval city of Suceava, has been the main residence of the Moldavian princes for almost 200 years, today a historical monument of national level. In 2016 in the Fortress of Suceava was organized the first permanent exhibition illustrating themes of great interest to the public, such as the first and most comprehensive presentation of medieval weapons in Moldavia, the coats of arms of Moldavian rulers and noblemen from the 14th - 17th centuries or the medieval Treasure of Moldavia. Multimedia systems with medieval historical themes and video projections with subjects related to the history of the fortress represent a novelty in Romania.

Very nice restauration and we were lucky to visit in covit restrictions. Under of 50 people inside. Its not for the family with children and more for history purpouse. Lots of chambers with holograms and audio description. So you need over 1h for the visit,

Atelier de ceramica neagra situat in localitatea Marginea. Traditie de familie ce dateaza din anul 1700.
Reviewed By LeeaneMe - Bucharest, Romania
Witness the traditional way of shaping plates, bowls, vases and pots from ceramics. The ones made in Marginea are special because they end up due to the “cooking” process. Besides the workshop you have a nice restaurant with great Romanian food and a shop for purchasing the black pottery.
